Week # 2

In the second week of, “Grow A Garden Project” we did a lot as well as planted in the Earth Boxes. During this week, we planted radishes, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and water melon. All these plants and fruits were put into the Potting Mix only half an inch to an inch and it cannot be deeper than that especially the seeds because when they germinate, it will be hard for the seeds to reach the surface, to get the sunlight and can be huge problem for the seed to grow. We planted seedlings plants onions and lettuce which are the baby plants as well as water melon and radishes seeds. We also went to the Philip’s Academy to visit their rooftop garden and to see how their lunch program works and we were amazed. Most of the students participate or help in growing a garden on the roof. We were really impressed by their lunch program because all the food is made in school and cooked there. All the students clean, help in setting up the tables and then clean up after themselves.
